LEARN ABOUT BASICS OF NFTS WITH ME AND ALPHA VAULT
Today I’ll be sharing some of the things I learned during the @_alphavault 3 day Discord class hosted by the founder @madamayo_ about NFT basics, common terminologies, and how to spot potential projects or possible rugs early.
Stay with me as I break everything down in simple terms anyone can understand.
1. NFT
NFT means Non Fungible Token.
Think of it as a digital item that proves ownership on the blockchain.
It can be art, music, gaming items, tickets, membership access, and more.
Example: BAYC, Pudgy Penguins, Azuki.
2. Mint
Minting means creating or buying an NFT directly from the project before it enters secondary marketplaces.
If a project says “Mint is live,” it means people can now buy the NFT officially.
3. Floor Price
Floor price is the cheapest price you can buy an NFT from a collection.
When the floor price increases, it usually means demand is growing.
4. Rug Pull
A rug pull happens when founders abandon a project after collecting money from investors.
Most rug projects usually promise too much but deliver nothing.
5. Utility
Utility means the benefits attached to an NFT.
Some NFTs give access to private communities, airdrops, events, games, or future rewards.
6. Whitelist
Whitelist gives selected users early access to mint NFTs before the public sale starts.
This usually comes at a cheaper price too.
7. Roadmap
A roadmap is the project’s future plan.
It shows what the team wants to build after launch.
Always check if the roadmap is realistic and not full of empty promises.
8. Reveal
Many NFT projects first launch with hidden images.
Reveal day is when the actual NFT artwork becomes visible to holders.
9. Metadata
Metadata contains the traits and details attached to an NFT.
This includes background, rarity, accessories, and other attributes.
10. Rarity
Some NFTs are more rare than others because of unique traits.
Rare NFTs usually attract more attention and sometimes higher prices.
11. FOMO
FOMO means Fear Of Missing Out.
This is when people rush into projects because everyone else is talking about them.
Never buy only because of hype.
12. DYOR
DYOR means Do Your Own Research.
Always research the founders, community, roadmap, and partnerships before investing in any NFT project.
13. PFP Projects
PFP means Profile Picture projects.
These are NFTs people use as social identity online.
Examples include collections like OpenSea featured projects such as Bored Ape Yacht Club and Pudgy Penguins.
14. Community
One strong thing behind successful NFT projects is community.
A healthy community is active, supportive, and engaged naturally without fake hype.
15. Red Flags To Watch
•Anonymous founders with no history
•Overhyped promises with no real product
•Fake engagement and botted communities
•No clear roadmap or utility
•Pressure to buy quickly
NFTs are risky, but learning the basics first can help you avoid many mistakes.
Tomorrow I’ll share how to properly research NFT projects before minting or buying.
